A worth while orientation
"It is natural that by knowing what you do not want, you are able to clarify what you do want; and there is nothing wrong with identifying a problem before beginning to look for a solution. But many people, over time, become problem oriented rather than solution oriented, and in their examination and explanation of the problem, they continue the perpetuation of the problem. That which is like unto itself, is drawn—so tell the story you want to live and you will eventually live it." Abraham
For me, this is the necessary component in the understanding of why life is consciousness. Because everything can be said to have a common denominator that is a vibrational frequency, and because the Universe appears to be set up with, what in our language, can be called a law or principle that attracts like unto itself back into the life of the thinker, the more we spend time touting all the reasons why we don't want something but perpetuates its presence in our lives. Just because we were not raised from within this understanding might only mean we have a bad habit of joining with the majority of humanity as we together bemoan what is wrong. Bad habits can be changed once we accept that 2 plus 2 really is 4 and not some other number. Tell the story you want to live and it eventually will be yours.
